The description of the entire [[LinuxEssentials]] programme is listed [[LinuxEssentials|here]].
 

==Minimally Qualified Candidate Description==
This is a description of a candidate that is just barely
qualified to pass the LPI Introductory Linux exam. This hypothetical
person is called the Minimally Qualified Candidate (MQC). Standards on
the Introductory Linux exam should be set so that this person (and
anyone more able) would pass but anyone less able would not pass.

An LPI Linux and Open Source Technician should
have an understanding of the major components of the Linux operating
system, the technical proficiency to work on the Linux command line and
a basic understanding of security and administration related topics such
as user/group management, working on the command line and permissions.
A LPI Linux ad Open Source Technician is most likely the end user of a mostly managed system.

The LPI Linux and Open Source MQC typically:

* Has a basic understanding of FOSS, the various communities and licenses
* Understands the basic concepts of processes, programs and the components of an Operating System
* Has a rudimentary ability to work on the command line and with files.
* Can use a basic command line editor.
* Has enough network knowledge to get a system up on a LAN.
* Has a basic appreciation of system security, users/groups and file permissions.
